Swimming pools in North Bergen must comply with N.J.A.C. 5:23 (NJ UCC) requiring a minimum 4-foot fence with self-closing, self-latching gate for all pools deeper than 24 inches. Building permits required. North Bergen's larger lots make pools more feasible than in other Hudson County cities.
N.J.A.C. 5:23 (NJ Uniform Construction Code) requires all pools deeper than 24 inches to be enclosed by a barrier at least 4 feet high with a self-closing, self-latching gate. North Bergen's Building Department at 4233 Kennedy Blvd. enforces these requirements. A pool permit must be obtained before construction. Electrical bonding and grounding per NEC are required. North Bergen's more suburban character with larger lots makes pool installation more feasible than in denser Hudson County cities.
Pool without required barrier: stop-use order, mandatory fencing, fines under N.J.A.C. 5:23.
